So this is how the world ends, not with a bang, but with Nancy Pelosi's nephew-in-law. (Did you guys know that Gavin is Pelosi's nephew-in-law? I just learned that today.

Commodus, but as farce

[–] KurtVonnegut@hexbear.net 24 points 8 months ago (2 children)

From Wikipedia:

Commodus was assassinated by the wrestler Narcissus in 192, ending the Nerva–Antonine dynasty. He was succeeded by Pertinax, the first claimant in the tumultuous Year of the Five Emperors.

So that means that, if history repeats itself, President Newsom will challenge Jake Paul to a fight and die in the ring, followed by a rapid succession of short-lived administrations. Sounds entertaining lathe-of-heaven

It's NARCISSUS! Narcissus with a STEEL CHAIR!

On a one hand, it would be as a farce, so instead of assassination we would probably had at best one of those impotent impeachments.

On the other, USA is basically constant Pertinax->Didius Julianus (or more accurately Didius->Didius->Didius at nauseam) power transmission via money, but not much palace coups out there.
